My Mom Watches THE USUAL SUSPECTS (1995) | Movie Reaction | First Time Watching

[@MarshaLove0723]

0:34 Never mention that there IS a twist to a newbie. 😏 Whenever someone tells me that, I spend too much time trying to figure that out, and miss other stuff. Heh.

[@meanstreetmook]

Exactly right, also to say a big twist and its a mystery movie makes the watcher really try to figure out this "twist". Being old as hell and saw in theaters, all we ever said to other people who hadn't seen it yet was "great ending"

[@jimlechuga3193]

@@meanstreetmookI’m old as hell and also saw it in the theater. I remember turning around wanting to see the faces of the movie goers and to a one, all had their mouths open.

[@veggiesarefruits]

I can't stand when people put, "what a twist!" in their reaction titles, too! Why, WHY would you do that to other reactors who maybe want to see what other channels are watching, but who don't want to know what happens?! Man...

[@DavidMichaelson-j7n]

In retrospect I caught a lot of the clues, but just thought they were continuity errors. But they weren't. For those who like this I recommend "The Spanish Prisoner." Similar kind of suspense movie but very different.

[@jhilal2385]

There are also several references in various shows and movies where there is an elusive criminal and someone will ask "Who is this guy, Keyser Soze?"

[@laudanum669]

Kevin Pollock is one of the best character actors in the movie business. When you look up the sheer number of movies he's been in it's impressive.

[@charleshays5407]

A Few Good Men, Casino.

[@unicyclist97]

Hell yeah, one of my favourite movies of all time

[@kathyastrom1315]

The only time we see “Verbal” have an honest reaction to the cops is when the one cop comes in the office with the name “Keyser Soze.” He blurts out “Shit!!” And then he starts spinning an expanded tale.

[@joek468]

Have hardly seen any reactions to this movie. I think there were less than 10 last i checked. This is the 2nd reaction in a row tonight I saw for it. Great movie.

[@Curraghmore]

Kobayashi was PETE Postlethwaite. Also known from the 1993 Oscar-winning film 'In the Name of the Father' co-starring Daniel Day Lewis. He was also in 'Jurassic Park 2 The Lost World' in 1997 and the Ben Affleck-directed film 'The Town' in 2010.

[@andrewmoss3681]

Another great one. A bit of UBER geekdom regarding this film. The ORIGINAL US release cut was pulled from ALL cinemas after only the first weekend. A new cut was shipped out to everyone over the weekend. But the original cinema cut was shown. The reason it was pulled was someone in production made a BIG mistake. If you watch the opening credits you'll see Spacey's name just listed. However in the original cinema cut the opening credits read "& Kevin Spacey as Keizer Suzy." Oops. Hope that got a chuckle. Hope everyone is having a great week & much love to all from here in the UK

[@katherinedinwiddie4526]

They say Baldwin actually took a hit to the face. They really played their parts. Awesome movie on my top list. Love the reactions

[@YolandaAnneBrown95726]

Yep!

[@CyberBeep_kenshi]

the cigarette bud hitting his face was real. as was the reaction

[@otisroseboro5613]

This Is One Of My All Time Favorite Movie's,Nice Reactions Everyone & Great Performances By Everyone In This Movie

[@YolandaAnneBrown95726]

Gabriel Byrne, aka Keaton, actually got into a fight because he thought that HE was the villain!!!

[@JohnDoe-bz4yl]

I first saw this movie not long after it came out and only sat down about 4 weeks ago for a second re watch with my son who had never seen it before Even though I knew how it ended it was is still a great film

[@dr.burtgummerfan439]

Benicio Del Toro knew his character died early, so he did the weird accent so he would be remembered.

[@Flix2Us]

It definitely worked!

[@veggiesarefruits]

Yep. And Fenster is comedy GOLD! 😂

[@CyberBeep_kenshi]

i wish i could forget this movie and see it again. it is a Perfect movie. also So Many hints, which you see on a rewatch

[@ScientificallyStupid]

Nick making aggressive eye contact with the camera and raising his eyebrows when he said "should be a fun time"...IM DEAD! Can't wait to see what Jen thinks of the infamous twist. Also, Suzy Amis is James Cameron's wife, I believe they met while filming Titanic.

[@Jen-Mom]

😊❤

[@unclelink]

Saw the spoof part in Scary Movie before actually seeing it. This and No Country For Old Men blew my father's mind! American Beauty is an interesting one! I remember when my Eng Lit teacher tried showing the class Shane, we laughed so much because of how different it was to the book that she gave up. Should've showed us To Kill A Mockingbird instead. That was good! All memorable movies worth watching!

[@noelleparris9451]

Didn't you watch Scary Movie? If so, you saw the twist (surprise) ending for this movie in that one. That's the unfortunate thing about watching movies out of order. But this is one of my favorite re-watchable movies: the acting and the script, soooo good.

[@shainewhite2781]

The twist ending was spoofed in countless Movies and TV shows.

[@martinsandt1135]

Wow " is it Kevin Spacey" ... i didn´t get that till they showed it first Time watching , Respect 🖖

[@remohio]

Redfoot's real first name is Zed.

[@lennyvalentin6485]

haaahhaahaaaaahaaaaaaha!

[@charleshays5407]

Kevin Spacey won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar.

[@lennyvalentin6485]

The Mumster outsmarted me! I never suspected Kint (spoiler alert for almost 30 year old movie... lol) Well done, I have to say. Then again, I was in my early '20s when this movie originally came out, I didn't have the benefit of experience (or - sigh! - internet memes...), so I don't consider my failure all that critical. :) Also, Pollak! WOW! See him in this movie, and in "A Few Good Men" - like night and day. Really makes you appreciate him as an actor, I didn't even think both characters were played by the same guy, they're that different. Most full-fledged actor actors can't do transformations like that, and Pollak was originally in stand-up comedy from what I understand. Just a wicked natural ability he's got, I suppose.

[@kelly9876]

this movie came out before Fight Club and 6th Sense, Kevin Spacey was not well known yet, and the movie was not marketed as having a twist, so I feel okay about not suspecting Verbal Kent when I watched it at the theatres

[@ThistleAndSea]

Love this movie! Thans for sharing it. 🙂

[@laudanum669]

Another movie I liked that starred Kevin Spacey and Benicio del Toro is "Swimming With Sharks". Nobody has reacted to it yet and that's sad because it is a great look at how ruthless Hollywood can be.

[@ashokmorar]

Great reaction 🙌. Used to watch this movie so often that my mother started calling me Keyser Soze 😂!

[@Jen-Mom]

😅

[@NancyHibberd]

Biggest clue-as to who Keyser Soze is is he and Kevin Spacey have the same initials. BTW, this is vintage Gabriel Byrne being sexy as hell. ❤ one fine actor and man!

[@CyberBeep_kenshi]

and how he holds the cigarette, his pee, he recognises Hungarian language, even his name means king talker (less nice term)

[@practicaldreamyr]

Great film, and another great reaction! May I recommend the gangster comedy "Bullets Over Broadway", also starring Chazz? It's a fantastic film with some spectactular performances and one I don't see mentioned often.

[@martinsandt1135]

This will be Great , thx for Your Content👍👊

[@jamespasifull3424]

The guy who played Kobayashi, Pete Postlethwaite, was said by Stephen Spielberg to be the best actor in the world. This relatively minor part doesn't really confirm this, but other movies DO!!

[@Momsbasement354]

Yeah, Sean above is exactly right. Benicio couldn’t stop farting, excellent editing to bring it together. Way to go mom! Not everyone gets it right before the end. I want you two to watch Canadian Bacon. It’s hilarious.

[@Billy-zv6gv]

The Usual Suspects is the Die Hard of Thanksgiving movies. True story. Hand to God.

[@Masihiun-sahraallibya]

In turkish the word verbal is söze.

[@uma.n2680]

And Kint is King which is also Kaiser or Caesar.

[@cesarvidelac]

Now you know what the "Scary movie" finale comes from 😂

[@sean-ew2qv]

They are all laughing in the lineup because one of the actors ripped one.

[@lennyvalentin6485]

A funny moment with the actors giggling uncontrollably that would normally end up as an outtake instead became part of the movie. And crazily, it works too.

[@twittertwice]

not on your patreon, but an suggesting great films Minority report- Tom Cruise Untouchables -Kevin Costner Looper- Collateral-Tom Cruise

[@Flix2Us]

Thanks for the suggestions! We already did Untouchables for the channel.

[@baron7755]

Mom's seen a movie or two before

[@silascallison]

I would love it if you would do Mrs Doubtfire

[@Jen-Mom]

One of our old favourites! 😊

[@jamesdamiano8894]

Such a cool movie. too bad Kevin Spacey had the issues he's had, he's a very good actor. "Swimming With Sharks" is a good one. Chaz Palminteri is in a good movie with Robert De Niro called "A Bronx Tale". A pretty cool Stephen Baldwin movie is "Threesome". and of course Benicia in "Sicario", but you guys have definitely seen that one. The ending is for sure spoofed in "Scary Movie".

[@lodey]

I love unreliable narrators :)

[@MarshaLove0723]

Verbal was a known con-artist in the criminal world. Based on how easily he made up a story from things he saw in that office, we know that he was probably very good at being a conman. He probably only allowed himself to be caught so he could spend time in prison and have a criminal record. We can assume that the Söze backstory was the real one. (Take a look at his face telling that story on a rewatch.) He went through all that trouble to kill Marquez personally, but I don't think he knew that there was a survivor from the boat, who told the cops what Söze looked like, thus making the whole thing moot. Everyone was supposed to die, and Verbal could slither away, possibly becoming Verbal again in the future, if needed. He's really going to have to go underground now. The Roger Verbal Kent persona is now no good. I think the thing that bothers me the most about the movie is that even though we were following the story of these 5 criminals, we came to care what happened to them, and were rooting for them to succeed. Then we find out that we don't even know this crew. We don't know if Keaton was trying to turn his life around, and just got caught up in this 'last job' or if he never turned from being a bad guy. Everything we learned about them and this caper was told by a unreliable narrator. All their conversations and reasons for doing things are now unknown to us.

[@lennyvalentin6485]

This last bit is the biggest (and greatest) deal with this movie. You get to know the people in the gang, their motivations, and you want them to get their comeuppance - then at the very end you realize it was probably all fake from start to finish. You have no idea what these people really were like, or, what they did. Really fabulous plot twist ending, so well done. Both Kevin Spacey and Bryan Singer later turned out to be problematic people, but this movie shows the talent both have at what they do. This is certainly one of my all-time favorite movies (although I do have a great many of those! heh), as well as one of my fav 1990s movies too. Another 1990s one with Spacey which also is fabulous is L.A. Confidential, btw.
